The Grapevine section of I-5 reopened at 4 p.m. with CHP escorts in both directions, according to a California Highway Patrol official.

CHP planned to continue escorts until weather conditions improved, Nunez said. The CHP told motorists to check the CHP Web site before traveling through the Grapevine to make sure the road wasn't closed again.

"There is more precipitation expected and temperatures will drop overnight, which could mean more snow and road closures," Nunez said.
